CASE: Asylee Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Saudi Arabian
LOCATION: Lakeville MN
Our client came to the United States from Saudi Arabia and, he was granted asylee status in May 2019.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, an asylee may apply for lawful permanent resident status after he or she has been physically present in the United States for a period of one year after the date he or she was granted asylum status. Around March 2020, our client contacted our office again and sought legal assistance for his adjustment of status application. We prepared and filed his I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on April 21, 2020. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notice and fingerprint appointment all came on time.
Eventually, on November 20, 2020, the USCIS approved our client’s Adjustment of Status application without an interview. He is now a permanent resident of the United States.
